0upvotes

Allocate a finite budget or headcount across competing initiatives by return and strategic fit. Use when asked to allocate budget, decide where to invest, build a funding/portfolio plan, or make trade-offs across initiatives under a cap. Produces a capital-allocation plan — initiatives scored by expected return × strategic fit per dollar, a funded/unfunded split against the cap, the cut line, and the reasoning.

# Capital Allocation Skill

Allocating capital is the core executive job: a fixed pot, more good ideas than money, and the need to
say no on the record. This skill scores initiatives by expected return *and* strategic fit per unit of
cost, allocates against the cap (honouring must-funds), and makes the **cut line** explicit — so funding
is a defensible portfolio choice, not the loudest voice in the room.

## Required Inputs

Ask for these only if they aren't already provided:

- **The cap** — the total budget or headcount to allocate, and the period.
- **The initiatives** — each with its cost, expected return (revenue, savings, or a strategic value), and strategic fit.
- **Constraints** — anything that *must* be funded (compliance, keep-the-lights-on) or can't be partially funded.
